Stamp Review Crew: Chalk Talk Edition

   
     It's time to "review" another stamp set! This week the Stamp Review Crew is spotlighting Stampin'Up! Chalk Talk set. The images from this set were created to fit the Chalk Talk Framelits, 1 3/8 Circle punch and the Extra-Large Oval punch.

     I hope you are collecting lots of new ideas on ways to use this great stamp set. The Stampin' Schach was your previous stop with Ann Schach and Tiddbits From Dawn is your next stop. You can find the entire list of demonstrators at The Stamp Review Crew website.

     Both of my projects took advantage of Stampin'Up!s coordinating products. The images coordinate with the framelits and punches; the Designer Series Papers have their coordinating colors of card stock, ink and embellishments. Using Stampin'Up! products takes away the frustration of matching card materials and hoping they will go together. Stampin'Up! has done it for us!

     This first card, I used Stampin'Up!s Etcetera Designer Series paper and the coordinating ink and card stock colors of Very Vanilla, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and Pool Party. This is my first time using the Envelope Liner Framelit. And I LOVE  IT!

• Dimensions:
• Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Navy Layer: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
• Pool Party and Very Vanilla layers were each cut 1/8" smaller than the previous layer.
• blue DSP: 2 1/2" x 3"
• Pool Party strip: 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• Calypso Coral: 4 1/8" x 2 1/8"
• Calypso Coral DSP: 4"x 2"

     My second project was inspired by an old sketch I found on Pinterest.  I used the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper and layered each piece onto black backgrounds. It really makes the colors stand out.

• Dimensions:
• Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Black base layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
• green DSP: 4" x 5 1/4"
• checkered DSP:  3 3/8" x 1 3/8"
• black layer: 3 1/2" x 1 1/2"
• floral DSP: 4 3/8" x 1 3/8"
• black layer: 4 1/2" x 1 1/2"
• Sentiment was stamped in Wild Wasabi ink and layered on a black piece cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits.

Thanks for stopping by.  Before you go, I would love to hear what you think of today's projects. If you have a moment, please leave a comment.  They are the icing to my cake and the "bling" to my card!

And now to continue on, you are off to Tiddbits From Dawn for more great ideas!
